That is not what I said. I said "it will be put to good use."


Maybe she DID say "you will be put to a good use", but whatever foreign entity is controlling her (or whatever) modified her memory banks to make her think she said 'it'.

The more I listen to the clip the more I hear "it" rather than "you".

Which reminds me, Horizon now has information that it didn't have before about Akamu and revolution etc. Potentially not a good thing.

 		Maybe there is someone inside horizon trying to communicate with us...

When I think about our convo yesterday, that may make sense.

Go to: www.horizonindustries.org

Horizon basically encourages citizens to spy on each other. If you've never read the book 1984, now would probably be a good time.

If that's the case, how do we contact them?

What information do you mean? Our discussions with LISA? I've always portrayed myself to LISA as a noble citizen wishing for a position on ATLAS..nothing more. No mention of either Hale or the revolution..

Oh, I've read it, but I'm pretty sure none of us have named names to LISA; only mentioned fragments.

 		The entire job opportunity storyline has been nothing more than a series of bits and pieces of information. There never was a position for one of us to fill, an NPC has taken that job and is currently on the way to Atlas.

So, what was it all for?

We learned of LISA. The biggest thing here is that it seems that we could eventually get more from her if we had the proper clearance.

We learned about Atlas. Something happened there.

We learned that an NPC is on the way there and that most likely something will happen again.

We learned that something gained access to LISA. With LISA's emotional and mysterious responses, this could be something non-human, given her comments about many memories and feeling ancient.

All of this could be in preparation for what's going to happen on Atlas.

I don't know if we're missing anything but it feels like we're just waiting for the story to unfold.

I think that there might be a way for us to 'exploit' her programming in some way. Kind of like SQLi; we take a login (in this case LISA's authentication) and inject commands to try and break it and let us in.

Yeah... I've been pretty open on these boards about ratting out Mr. Hale to LISA and trying to get on Horizon's good side by being a mole. Twisted Evil Then I've also turned around and told Hale some things about LISA & Horizon. Trust me, I've told them both LOTS!!
Just trying to get info by sharing info to advance the story a little bit.
And technically speaking, even though the PMs know I'm being a mole, LISA and Mr. Hale shouldn't have the slightest clue for the sake of believability.

I ratted you out as well to Mr. Hale, and made up a story about how you were really the rebel mastermind to LISA. Unfortunately didn't get me anywhere. Guess they don't want the players backstabbing eachother. XD

Also shortly after is when LISA started freaking out.

Oh, LISA's maintenance isn't until Saturday, when she is "off" (turned off and when the PMs are off XD)

HAHA That's great! Laughing
It obviously didn't work because Mr. Hale was very forthcoming in his last email that I posted at the bottom of page 42. The PMs have a specific plan to unfold this story and it appears no amount of ratting on the characters or other players seems to change that.

But I work on the premise that sharing "sensitive" data with each side is one way to get more information from the PMs. I'm just having fun playing all sides, seeing where that ends up. Wink

 		I asked LISA to analyse the wave file she sent to everyone for any anomalies.

Already have. As I have said before, those are certainly my vocal linguistic routines, I just do not remember recording it.

My vocal linguistic routines appear to be corrupted in the message. I was unable to detect any other oddities.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.


I guess there is nothing there.

 		Clever enaxor! And it appears the back-to-basics LISA is indeed answering b/c this was her reply to the only joke she now knows:

In reply to "Why did the AI cross the road" LISA wrote:
**Welcome to Horizon Industries.**

Because she was plugged in to a Kruger Industrial Surge Protection, LLC Model-17A Extension Cord Device and could. This message has been brought to you by Kruger Industrial Surge Protection, LLC.

Always watch. Always listen. Horizon Industries.
